Always alone
by Joy SyA thousand times a day
I fight that small voice
in the back of my mind
You know the one that says
all our fears are true
and all we know are lies
The one that keeps me
from walking out the door
of the room of one
The one that keeps the
door from swinging open
for someones
For most days, I win
My mind, filled up with tasks and things
Too busy for it to seep too deeply in
And on those days, when the battle is lost
When tears unabatedly fall
I will relish the fact
that I can feel at all 11/29/2014 Posted on 11/29/2014
